Chapter 490: Relationship
"Naelith, Lyswenna, letâs go," Leo said.
Many people were still mentally preparing themselves, so the traffic was lighter. Leo took the initiative and became the first from the Aurelius Beast Academy side to step forward.
Seeing him move, Aaron and Ronan also began walking slowly behind him with their servants. They were not in a rush to get ahead of him; rather, Leo himself was expected to enter the secret realm first due to his status as a first-rank holder.
And it worked. Behind Aaron and Ronan, multiple groups from the Aurelius Beast Academy also began moving forward. But their reasoning was slightly different.
"Letâs enter the instant Sir Leo enters the secret realm. Who knows, we might end up close to him, and he could rescue us if we run into trouble," one person whispered to the friend beside him, who nodded in agreement.
Similar discussions were happening among the other groups as well.
Looks like they havenât read about the unique rules these secret realms come with...
Leo thought.
And it was natural they didnât know, because detailed information regarding secret realms was only accessible from the 4th floor of the library.
As for the rules regarding this particular secret realm, they were one of the unique combinations of two sets.
The first was an age restriction. No beings above the age of 30 were allowed to interfere with the things and beings inside the realm.
It wasnât that they couldnât enter; they could. But they wouldnât be capable of bringing major changes to the secret realm, such as harming its inhabitants. This even included lifting a large boulder that altered the realmâs topography. That boulder would become infinitely heavy for them.
Still, they could defend themselves using their power, which was also why they could shield the students by acting as walls.
The second rule was random teleportation around the edges of the realm, meaning each individual or party would be randomly teleported somewhere along the outer boundaries of the secret realm.
And since there was no exit gate inside the realm like those with fixed teleportation pointsâsuch as the Frozen Waterfall Wood Elf Secret Realmâpeople could simply walk into the realm boundary to leave the secret realm. No matter where they exited from, they would always emerge through this Yellow Gate into the outside world.
Itâs good that itâs not the ultimate random teleportation type...
Leo thought.
In that version, a person could very well be teleported directly onto a tiny piece of rock surrounded by lava, and even if they walked in while holding their friendâs hand, they still wouldnât appear in the same place.
So yeah, the teleportation wouldnât directly kill anyone by dropping them into a lava pool, but it could very well become a death trap.
Thankfully, this wasnât that kind of realm.
"Lyswenna, give me your hand."
"My Lord," she said softly as she extended her hand for Leo to hold. With her other hand, she held Naelithâs.
There was no sense of awkwardness between them because their relationship was that of Lord and Servant, and neither side had any thoughts of redefining it.
For Leo, there was no other because he had already chosen Lily. And for the elves, they couldnât and wouldnât allow such thoughts to even cross their minds, as it could very well risk the good lives they had now.
But that didnât stop Leo from commenting.
"Those are some nice, soft hands... Naelith, show me yours," Leo said as he took both their hands and compared the softness by lightly pressing them.
Hmm, not as soft and steady as Lilyâs... maybe because of the rank difference. Naelithâs seems softer than Lyswennaâs...
Thinking that, Leo let go of Naelithâs hand as they continued walking toward the realm.
Well... my hands cut diamonds compared to them...
he thought while glancing at his rough palms.
Both Lyswenna and Naelith were confused about what Leo was thinking, but neither questioned him.
"You two, if you get the chance, give Lily a nice massage with those hands. My hands are way too rough to give her a good time."
Leo already received top-notch massages from Lily almost every day whenever they were together, but when he tried doing the same for her, he discovered that instead of relaxing, she became excited, and they ended up going for another round.
Weird... does she like my rough hands so much that she gets aroused? Well, canât exactly know what goes on inside a closet yandereâs head.
Both elves finally realised what Leo had been checking, especially since Lyswenna could clearly feel how exceptionally rough Leoâs hands were.
"Donât worry, my lord, we will do as you say and talk to Miss Lily," Lyswenna responded calmly. Neither of them dared to suggest giving Leo a massage themselves, since they knew Lily was far too possessive of him, and Leo himself would reject the offer outright.
But Leoâs actions had already been noticed by the people walking behind them.
"Fuck... We should learn from Sir Leo. Even his simple actions light my ass up with jealousy," one man muttered while unconsciously clenching his friendâs palm hard enough for an audible snap to ring out.
"Man, fuck you! What are you doing?!" the friend cursed, instantly yanking his hand back and checking for any misaligned bones.
"Hmph! If only you were a girl."
The friend stared at him, completely weirded out, even forgetting the pain in his palm. At that moment, he decided to maintain a safe distance from this friend.
Even Aaron and Ronan didnât look entirely unbothered.
"No," Ronan said immediately.
"Donât even think about getting any more girls... especially elves. Your bloodsucking wives would eat you alive.... Maybe you can open another slot after 1 year, but not now."
Aaron reluctantly nodded. He clearly recalled the day he brought a new girl from a city he had visited during a tour with his father.
His 4 existing wives had challenged him to a 4v1 duel, declaring that if he couldnât defeat all 4 of them, they wouldnât allow him to touch the new girl.
Ronan had personally witnessed one of those duels, where the 4 women beat Aaron into a bloody pulp. Yet to show both determination and care, they kissed his bloodied face one after another to encourage him to grow stronger. From that day onward, Ronan began referring to Aaronâs wives as "Bloodsucking Wives."
And it took Aaron nearly 2 years of continuous effort before he finally managed to defeat them. From that day onward, he never recklessly brought home new girls again and remained with 5 wives to this day.
Even Ronan didnât fare much better. Since the two of them were close friends, their wives naturally knew each other as well.
Ronan himself had been stuck with 3 wives.

The sinking feeling in Leoâs stomach settled after the teleportation. He opened his eyes, only to be instantly struck by an intense wave of heat.
